Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Inpatient Programs
Spaulding offers centers of excellence in inpatient brain injury, spinal cord injury, and stroke care, as well as offering inpatient rehabilitation programs for amputee and vascular disease, musculoskeletal, and other disabling conditions. Each program is led by an interdisciplinary team of clinicians, including physicians, physical, occupational and speech therapists, social workers, and nurses. Unique inpatient programs include Young Adult Stroke program serving the growing number of patients under age 60 suffering strokes, and our Pediatric Unit, which cares for 130 infants, children, and youth each year. Spaulding's Spinal Cord Injury Program was selected as one of only 14 Spinal Cord Injury Model System sites in the nation by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research.
Outpatient Programs
Spaulding's outpatient services are accessible across the greater Boston area and provide a number of unique services. These centers serve both former inpatients and others in the community needing rehabilitation care on an outpatient basis. Along with physical, occupational, and speech therapies for a variety of conditions, these centers offer other services such as fall risk assessment and prevention for seniors (Cambridge), pediatric care including communication services for children with autism spectrum disorders (Lexington), women's health services and integrative medicine (Medford), pregnancy related pain services (Medford and Braintree), post-polio syndrome care (Framingham), arthritis management, chronic pain management, and sports injury care (Boston; multiple locations). One of the newest outpatient programs is the National Running Center which is dedicated to the prevention and treatment of running injuries.
Research
Spaulding Boston is advancing the field through a number of research initiatives. The Motion Analysis Laboratory is studying interventions for people with gait disorders using high-tech equipment such as a robotic exoskeleton called a Lokomat. Recently the Laboratory was selected as one of only nine hospitals in the nation to test eLEGS, a personal robotic exoskeleton that allows people with lower body paralysis to stand and walk. The Cardiovascular Research Laboratory is testing an innovative use of Functional Electronic Stimulation (FES), combined with a rowing machine, to offer full body exercise to people with lower-body paralysis. The Disorders of Consciousness program is studying the best possible treatment for patients with severe brain injury who are in a minimally conscious state. Still other researchers are studying gait changes in older adults, preventing bone loss in people with spinal cord injury, and muscle cell changes in ALS and other degenerative diseases.
Community Based Services
As advocates for people with disabilities, we partner with other organizations to foster full inclusion. Programs are open to both current and former patients as well as people in the broader community we serve. We host groups such as the Greater Boston Chapter of the Spinal Cord Injury Association, which is housed at Spaulding, and the Boston Acquired Brain Injury Support group on site. We have developed partnerships with community-based organizations such as Partners for Youth with Disabilities. The Working Partners program is a partnership with the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission to provide employment services to people with disabilities. One of our largest and most successful programs is the Dr. Charles H. Weingarten Adaptive Sports and Recreation Program, which offers more than 500 children, youth, and adults with disabilities annually the chance to be outside and active. The program fills an important gap in the greaterBostonarea for affordable adaptive sports.
